Worked solution
10(a)
1. Find the first derivative of $y$ with respect to $x$ using the quotient rule.
Let and .
2. Set up the inequality for a decreasing function.
For to be a decreasing function, .
3. Solve the inequality.
Since for all , we must have:
The roots are and .
Thus, .
Since makes the denominator zero (vertical asymptote), .
